Not sure I agree with everything here and haven’t fully formed a stance on Shedeur but this is a great post and true in many ways.

I don’t find it plausible that this level of coordination exists amongst owners / teams on something this consequential to their respective futures. (There would be too much alpha for a team to defect from this coordination for their own self interest)

My opinion is that Shedeur’s attention and bravado *is* a potential distraction — but more importantly an outside threat to many fragile coaching staffs. I think Deion would like to coach Shedeur in the pros, and GMs + coaches don’t want that controversy floating if their team starts or keeps losing. 

(And most importantly, Shedeur is not a good enough bet to be a team l-lifting player, so you become more likely to face this scenario)

All this being said, I feel like Shedeur’s response has been pretty graceful and cool. Kinda bullish. 

What if everyone overreacted? I’m rooting for the kid tbh

Ya that’s the part I don’t really agree with, too much at stake for organizations. Think @jrs is spot on. If not a sure star than too much of a headache for handful of reasons
